Design leader responsible for shaping the product experience of a LegalTech platform.

About the company

  • Sandstone is on a mission to elevate in-house legal from a support function into a true strategic partner. From day one, we’ve been clear about what we are—and are not. We are not replacing in-house legal teams. We are building a platform that amplifies them.
  • Our platform enables modern legal teams to move at the speed of AI, deliver better outcomes, and create measurable business value. We unify legal data, power end-to-end workflows, and organize business context within the tools teams already use. Sandstone is the home for AI-native legal departments.
  • Today, Sandstone is trusted by Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing innovators alike. We ship quickly, iterate relentlessly, and scale with intention.
  • When you join Sandstone, you become part of a team that believes deeply in the compounding power of collaboration, rigorous problem-solving, and obsessive attention to detail. Our engineering team is elite, our lawyers ship code every day, and we are dedicated to building the most delightful product an in-house lawyer opens in the morning—and closes at the end of the day.

Responsibilities

  • We are building a platform that looks and feels like nothing else in LegalTech, and we are looking for a design leader to help us chart the path forward. We believe design should have a strong opinion on the shape of the Sandstone experience, and we have built the product since day one with that at the forefront of our minds.
  • To be successful in this role, you will be someone who thrives working in an early-stage, green field environment with a high degree of autonomy. You will collaborate closely with Liam Germain (CTO, Co-founder), Jarryd Strydom (COO, Co-founder), and engineers who care deeply about building a novel user experience. You will also help create and distill Sandstone’s design culture, standard, and systems.
  • We are looking for a Founding Product Designer who combines a traditional background in design with a vision for how the world and work of design will evolve in the AI age. “Ship relentlessly” is a core value of our team: we are all builders, and we expect you will be, too.

Requirements

  • You bring 6+ years of experience as a Product Designer, or a related role within a high-growth B2B SaaS environment.
  • You have front-end development experience or willingness to code with AI tools.
  • You have a demonstrated track record of entrepreneurship or of success in an unstructured environment - you’re hungry, low ego, and generative.
  • You have the empathy to understand what a customer is feeling and the emotional intelligence to know what would feel natural to them.

Conditions

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; 401K
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Flexible time off (20+ days PTO)
  • Annual learning & development stipend
  • Technology stipend, including unlimited spend on AI tooling
  • Daily lunch for in-office team members
  • At Sandstone, we value high ownership, flexibility, and curiosity. You'll have an outsized impact, work closely with ambitious colleagues, and help transform how legal teams work for the modern age.

Other

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to design, build, and iterate on core product features.
  • Own product work end-to-end: Partner with engineering to define problems, explore solution spaces, validate concepts, and ship product improvements that move key metrics. Stay involved through launch and iteration, not just handoff.
  • As our first dedicated design hire, set the standards, establish our design system and processes that you want to see to ensure a consistent, seamless, and thoughtful product experience.
  • Help us improve how we solicit and incorporate customer feedback directly into the product.
  • Build our design team and culture from the ground up in close collaboration with our co-founders.
